Ru xiang sui su is an in-situ project for the Bazaar compatible program (BCP). It takes the form of a scalable intervention that will be growing and changing during the duration of the show. Its departure point: Chinese idioms. After choosing some popular sayings, we will be collecting some images from the web by using the exact idiom on a web search engine. With these materials we will be adding drawings to a brain-soup (Brainstorming) kind of wall. It will be through the proximity of "unrelated" images that viewers will build a narrative, and maybe explain those phrases whose imagery can be confusing.

Last but not least the whole project will be a sort of correspondence between two artists who have not yet met.
